Court housing able-bodied in Swiss Cottage? (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

chalet

'swiss cottage?' is the definition.
(type of cottage often found in Swiss Alps)

'court housing able-bodied' is the wordplay.
'court' becomes 'ct' (abbreviation used in road names).
'housing' is an insertion indicator.
'able-bodied' becomes 'hale' (I've seen this in another clue).
'ct' enclosing 'hale' is 'CHALET'.

'in' is the link.

(Other definitions for chalet that I've seen before include "Originally an alpine cowherd's hut" , "The lac (anag.)" , "Swiss cottage or small villa" , "Kind of mountain cabin in Switzerland" , "Swiss house with sloping roof and wide eaves" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
